It can be argued that April 19th, 1775 is the most important date in American history. The Battle of Lexington, Concord and Battle Road was the opening engagement of the American Revolution. And, it is not surprising that after two hundred and twenty-two years, some of the details are still the subject of some debate.   Continue reading “Never Too Old: The Story of Captain Samuel Whittemore”

Indiana authorities on Saturday were yet to charge and identify the student who they say was responsible for wounding a teacher and student at a middle school in what media is reporting as the 23rd shooting on a United States campus in 2018.

The student, who was being held by police, was armed with two handguns when he shot a science teacher and another student in a science classroom at a Noblesville West Middle School on Friday morning, police in the community 25 miles (42 km) northeast of Indianapolis said.   Continue reading “Suspect wounds teacher, fellow student in 23rd school shooting in 2018”

A controversial new bill set to go before Israel’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation in the Knesset on Sunday would ban taking videos or photos of Israeli soldiers in the process of arresting or subduing Palestinians.

It’s a move that advocacy groups are decrying as an aggressive censorship measure aimed at banning the documentation Israeli soldiers’ human rights violations, especially as the U.N. Human Rights Council has opened a formal investigation into accusations that Israeli security forces recently gunned down scores of Palestinian civilians protesting along the Gaza-Israeli border fence.    Continue reading “Proposed Israeli Law Criminalizes Filming Soldiers’ Human Rights Violations”

I don’t know about you, but I find this both hilarious and insulting.

Considering that Walmart never opens up a register, forces you to go through self-serve checkout, wants to become the first shopping center to go cashier-less, and the fact that everything is made from China, I’m curious as to how in the HELL they support American jobs and what part of it they are proud of.   Continue reading “Taken in a Walmart in Mckinney, TX.”

In an email Tuesday night, former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul released an ominous statement claiming that a source they have in the Senate revealed Democrats are teaming up with Republicans to push through a massive gun control bill.

According to their source, as Paul explained, “Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are teaming up with Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to ram through one of the worst nationwide gun confiscation schemes ever devised.”  Continue reading “Ron Paul: Republicans, Democrats Teaming Up for Federal Gun Confiscation Bill”

America is once again reeling from yet another deadly mass shooting. The victims at Santa Fe High School were taken from us too soon, and the prayers of Texas and the nation are with their families. There is something especially haunting about a killer targeting a school, where parents send their children on the assumption that they will be safe as they learn. Experience is a hard teacher, and with 2018’s second major school shooting behind us, its lesson is clear: We must secure our schools.   Continue reading “To stop school shootings, use Israel’s approach to fighting terror: Texas attorney general”

“The notion that foreign wars and entanglements are wrong still emanates from a sparsely populated philosophical quarter that has no majority presence in the academy of the government media-complex. It is a true voice in the wilderness. That voice has one signature message: you cannot thank veterans for your freedom because they have actively done nothing more than endanger its very existence.

Congress is ordering the Pentagon to immediately begin construction of space-based missile interceptors to counter increasing threats from North Korea, Iran, and other countries with advanced missile technology, according to new legislation viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

The space-based interceptor program—a plan for the United States to deploy satellites into space capable of destroying ballistic missiles before they even take flight—has been on ice for years due to repeated delays by the Pentagon.   Continue reading “Congress Directs Immediate Weaponization of Space to Counter Missile Strikes”

Aurora, CO — Saving a person’s life by rushing them to the hospital after they’ve been shot should not be a punishable offense much less get you beaten and kidnapped. However, for OyZhana Williams, who dropped a man at the emergency room who’d just been shot, that is exactly what happened—thanks to Aurora police officers. Now, however, because of a defunct system, the taxpayers—not the officers—will be held accountable for the abuse.

Last year, Williams, 23, filed an excessive force lawsuit against the Aurora police department whose officers, Sergeant Michal Hawkins, Jordan Odneal, and Jose Ortiz, were seen on video allegedly choking, slamming and stomping the innocent woman just before making up bogus charges against her, according to the lawsuit.   Continue reading “Taxpayers Held Liable After Innocent Mom Choked, Beaten, Stomped by Cops on Video”

Initiative Petition #43 is slowly making its way through the ballot measure process in Oregon. After a massive response of challenges to the “draft ballot title” were submitted a couple of weeks ago, the state “attorney general” has now issued the “certified ballot title” that reads “Prohibits “assault weapons” (defined), “large capacity magazines” (defined), unless registered with state police. Criminal penalties.”

As previously reported, this ballot measure, should it eventually pass, would outlaw 95% of the guns that are currently out there, and instantly turn thousands grampas into felons for having an old tube fed .22 Marlin in the attic or a piece of plastic with a spring inside of it.

A new story about underground, Brooklyn urban gardeners shows that you don’t need to know much to go forth and bear grafted fruit. 

Trees perform many overlooked services for city life – allowing birds to perch and grace us with their sweet songs, cooling hot temperatures, and dampening noise pollution. Heck, they even clean toxic pollution. But are we overlooking another resource trees can offer? One that we facilitate ourselves?   Continue reading “Guerilla Gardeners Are Grafting Fruit Onto City Trees”
